I bought the biners when I got my WBBB and they are Al alloy, 550 kg rated and pretty light. Good quality and never had an issue w/ failure, just bulky. Brandon wouldn't offer anything that wasn't good quality...
But I agree with the majority of opinions about using the Dutch Clip w/ strapping sewn tight to prevent loss. Especially now w/ JRB on vacation for the month of Aug, quick replacement isn't an option. Might check HF store have any in stock yet...
A couple climbing rated biners would be good to have along any trip as they have may uses. Mine are on my pack for immediate use.
